Set in Texas, the story is about the family gathering as the old family patriarch fades — who has the will, is there a will, who wrote it, is there a new one? It’s funny, touching, and thoughtful — just the right combination for a cool air-conditioned evening as the hot summer ends in September!
Tickets are $15 for Main Stage $15, seniors (55+) $13, students (under 18) $13, and the Youth Stage $8. Tickets are available online only here. Playhouse 1960 is located one mile south of FM 1960 down Cutten Road at the corner of 6814 Gant Road, Suite 116, Houston, Texas 77066.

There were some great announcements about Cy-Fair ISD (CFISD) schools and their talented students over the summer!
CFISD achieved “Recognized” status within Texas schools for the third year in a row, according to the Texas Education Agency (TEA). This is a great student and faculty achievement, as CFISD is the largest “Recognized” school district in Texas. “Recognized” status is based on the annual TAKS test, where last year CFISD students achieved over 90% in reading, writing, and social studies, and nearly 90% in math and science too.
In other district athletic news, the Cy-Woods senior quarterback, Colton Huntsman, was honored at the annual “Touchdowner of the Year” dinner on Wednesday, August 11. He was chosen by Houston-area high school football coaches to be one of only 31 area athletes inducted into the Touchdown Club of Houston 2010 High School Pre-Season Team. Congratulations Colton!
Already off to an excellent start, this is sure to be a great school year for CFISD in 2010-2011!
